Question

question 5 (mandatory) (10 points)
a student gave credit where needed in her writing assignment, except for one place. with all
the copying and pasting into her draft, she had accidentally forgotten the paragraph was from
a database article and not her original thoughts. why is this plagiarism?

because the author who did the work to come up with that specific original idea will not
get credit.

because the instructor will think the student is claiming she came up with the idea on her
own.

both of the above answer choices are correct.

none of the answer choices are correct—one passage without credit is not a big deal.

question 6 (mandatory) (10 points)
you found a well - written essay about teaching someone the basics of sign language on a web
site that offers free essay examples. you decide to write your own essay about sign language
but use the conclusion from the free essay. is it plagiarism—yes or no?

true

false

Explanation:

For Question 5:

Plagiarism involves failing to credit the original creator of work/ideas, which means the original author is denied proper recognition, and the student appears to be claiming the work as their own. Both of these are core reasons this counts as plagiarism.

For Question 6:

Using a conclusion from another author's work (even from a free essay site) without proper attribution counts as plagiarism, so the answer corresponds to "Yes" (True).

Answer:

Question 5: Both of the above answer choices are correct.
Question 6: True
